Folks

How is Conversion of Existing Single instance Database(ASM) to 2-instance RAC 
done?

STEPS Envisaged:-

 *   RE-Creation of Controlfile using "RAC Related ORACLE_HOME" with init.ora 
parameter cluster_database=FALSE.
NOTE - This is Done & the Single Instance ASM Database is brought up.

 *   Add Redo logfiles for THREAD 2 & Enable the Same.
 *   Change init.ora parameters on Both Nodes (Set cluster_database=TRUE, 
cluster_database_instances=2 etc)
 *   Issue following 3 srvctl commands
$ srvctl add database -d ASMDBR -o /ora/asm10gr2/product
$ srvctl add instance -d ASMDBR -i ASMDBR1 -n spesuns4p-2
$ srvctl add instance -d ASMDBR -i ASMDBR2 -n spesuns4p-4


NOTE - CRS Setup for 2 Node ASM-RAC is already done & working as seen below.
$ crs_stat -t
Name           Type           Target    State     Host
